Always be prepared, look ahead and gather all the information that you will need for the next day or the next week. Ask questions, look up where you are going, secure your labor.
Labor in the moving has always been a huge issue. Learn who is good as you travel, keep their names and contact information and always treat them right and pay them properly.
You want to build relationships on the road.
Train them.
If you take the time to help train the young man on your move he will pay it back to you two fold.
We have a owner operator that sets up packing Classes on his own in certain areas.
He has the names of young men and woman that has used in the past or are friends that need direction and help and he gathers them up on a day off and teaches.
Do you think they will be loyal to him?
Do you think that will pay off for him as much as the young students?
Through the years he has developed elite pack crews on each side of the country that are there for him when he needs them. They do a good job for him.
And just as important they start to see a road of opportunity for them.
Some start to learn how to load properly and may want to get their own license and maybe someday drive and be their own boss.
Yea, just like you use to be.
People still desire to get in this business and make their own opportunity , it is getting harder and harder for the working class guy to do just that and the moving industry still provides it.
Prepare and train....learn the true meaning of success.
